I wondered why this was not done earlier.
Do the "experts" say this sounds the same as the 1965 version?
I don't know. Sounds the same to me, but I am no expert.
It has not been redesigned. Just re-released as a product. Same cabinet
design, same Jensen "special" speakers, same tube pre-amps, reverb drivers
and 6L6 output stage.

I have another, solid state Fender "Stage 1000" that has digital signal
processing, etc. Sounds ok, but not like the tube twin.
There isn't a chip, processor or digital circuit in it.

People are thinking "vintage" even if it's brand new, they want it to
look and sound old.

check out this brand New beat-to-death Strat!

And to think, people pay more for this stuff than a crispy clean on of
the same year....


Ahh...the secret of my success with women...especially (and only) the
ones who want "it" to look and sound old! :)


A very nice looking woman, about 40 maybe, tried to pick me up last week
at the post office. I was so astonished about all I could do was
stammer. The postal clerk, a cute girl of 19, asked me afterwards if I
knew what had just happened.

The only possibility I can think of is that the woman was extremely
nearsighted, and couldn't quite focus on me. :)
